Neutron based irradiation growth testing was performed on two types of zircaloy-2 – recrystallised and cold worked. The growth curves along two axes of the textured sample are shown in Figure 1. (i) Why is there is difference in growth rate between direction and direction? (ii) Which directions are axis i and axis ii for the rolled sheet of zircaloy-2? Why is there a difference between the growth rate of cold worked and recrystallised material? (iii)

Sketch a copy of the graph for irradiation growth for neutron damage for
the cold worked sample, and add sketched lines of irradiation growth for
fission fragment damage.
